The Library: Organic Malty Black Tea

$13.75
Size

Tastes Like: buttered toast, brown bread, almond
Feels Like: morning in the library

Picture the dark wooden walls of a library lined with rows of books, like the iconic Long Room of Trinity College in Dublin. There is a seductive atmosphere that is both austere and comforting. The bready aroma of this tea is complemented by the unique nuttiness of caraway. This high grade black assam tea has a velvety mouthfeel and rich flavor. Hints of cocoa and sweet almond aromas enliven the mix, like the occasional contemporary novel whose glossy cover pops against the worn literary classics. A drop of milk tips the flavor towards a smooth creamy stout. Like sinking into a stately club chair to ponder the pages between your hands, this tea invites reflection. This makes a rich breakfast tea, and a great afternoon tea with shortbread or cherry scones.

Like a pleasant morning with a favorite book

This tea is so simple yet so intriguing. It's full-bodied yet astringent, savory yet delightful with a bit of honey, and incredibly satisfying. The malty flavor is very prominent, and it does give it a good kick of that bread flavor that's described. It's very smooth and rich without being very sweet, and it makes a warm and cozy morning brew that won't make you too wired.
